The Apple Tree Lyrics - Squeeze

(difford/tilbrook) 

Power station by the river 

Grinding slowly to a stop 

Clock still ticking on the mantle 

Flames still flicker on the log 

Coffee brewing in the kitchen 

Where the door is open wide 

Glass upon a hoovered carpet 

Eyes are glowing in the night 

It's the silence you can see 

Hearing shadows behind me

Every Lyric From Shawn Mendes' Self-Titled New Album 

All the buildings standing empty 

All the trains are standing still 

Cars are scattered by the roadside 

There's no top upon the hill 

Nails have scratched upon the outside 

Of the empty chapel door 

But I don't think that the father 

Wants to live there anymore 

There's no bone for you to pick 

No more wax around the wick 

Shot the arrow from the circle 

At the apple on the tree 

From a garden that was eden 

Strange the fruit it bears for me 

And the wind will spread the fire 

And the rain will ever fall 

If no one reads the writing 

That's been written on the wall 

Photos 

Underneath the apple tree 

There's a ghost who waits for me 

The apple tree shakes it's arms 

Its fruit falls 

Its fruits are tasting strange 

The apple tree is shaking
